Effectiveness of Patch-Electrocardiogram Recorders in Screening for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly People in the Chinese Community
Sponsor: Beijing Anzhen Hospital
Summary
This prospective, multicenter, single-arm study evaluates the effectiveness of a single-lead patch electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder in screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) among community-dwelling elderly individuals aged ≥60 years in China. Participants will undergo 7 days of continuous ECG monitoring, followed by annual follow-up for up to 10 years to assess long-term outcomes including stroke, heart failure, and death.

Single-lead patch ECG recorder
All enrolled participants will wear a single-lead patch ECG recorder for 7 consecutive days. The device continuously records cardiac electrical activity, which is wirelessly transmitted to a central database for real-time analysis. AF episodes detected will be reviewed by the clinical team and communicated to the participant's primary care physician for further management.
